eGear Stretch Flashlight and Mini Lantern

Christmas gift for grandchildren and easy to use for little hands.

My biggest concern is the use of 6 AAA's, in a warm climate, AAA's are prone to early leakage no matter what brand you use. A better design would be to make it a bit larger in the battery compartment and use AA's which don't leak as much or as soon under heavy current loads as AAA's do, plus they would tend to last a bit longer, the other option could be designing it to use 3 C batteries instead of 6 AAA's, C's can handle current draw better than AA's, but since I'm just a consumer, what do I know about size & weight trade-offs when designing a flashlight/lantern with these capabilities? I use it instead of a room light so I can read my mg levels at night so I don't disturb my wife.

Haven't used it much yet, but plan on it during camping.

I was looking for a flashlight that would also serve as a lantern in my small camper-- this really appears to be a perfect solution. Very reasonable price and its rated battery life is generous-- because there is a low power setting. This also would be handy to keep around the house for emergencies. Note this uses six batteries not three as the product description may state.

Does the job as a lamp in a tent and is a decent flashlight, but not great for distance.

Nice light for a car due to the lantern function. 3 levels of intensity is nice as well.

This flash light is a good size, bigger then a mini-maglite, yet smaller then a conventional 2 d-cell flashlight. The lantern feature is nice to have as well. I have a big coleman 4 d-cell wide beam flashlight with this feature also.(good for power outages). The light is fairly bright at high setting (there's 3), this means there's 2 extra clicks involved when turning the light off and on, push button is at base of flashlight. The lantern feature does not seem to light much of an area,(I guess it's sufficient though). If this flash light holds up it would be a good investment, if your looking for a smaller/versitile flashlight.(I have not used it much yet, other then testing it out). It seems fairly durable/well made. I did not see any warranty information on the packaging. So I'll just have to wait and see how it holds up.

Great for backpacking, dual purpose lantern.
